The '3000 Volts of Holt' album was the third in a series of records that launched John Holt into the UK charts in the 1970's. To say that every home had a copy of a 1000 Volts and many 2000 Volts of Holt might be an overstatement but it certainly felt that way, as all good radio stations and parties seemed to have these tracks on permanent rotation.

'3000 Volts of Holt' was the more roots sounding of the three albums but still carried that sweetened string sound that set these recordings together. This album also featured the first recordings that Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare played on together. We are glad to get this version back out on the streets where it belongs.
